The first detailed study into the role ofthe Inns of Court in increasing socialmobility finds that students fromnon-traditional backgrounds
continue to face serious challenges to accessingthe profession, despite the efforts of theprofession, universities and other organisations.
The study, jointly funded by Keele Universityand the Inner Temple, suggests these challengesstem from a number of sources including gaps inthe understanding of the profession amongststudents themselves, universities and theprofession; the careers advice given to studentsinterested in the Bar; and financial constraintswhich make it difficult for students to undertakework experience.
The study highlights the difficulties that someuniversities may experience in negotiating the linebetween providing balanced, realistic and accuratecareers advice and reinforcing stereotypically

perceived constraints about the profession.The report recommends that the Bar build a
dialogue with universities to make it clear thatrecruitment is based on merit rather thaneducational establishment or background while,at the same time, exploring strategies to addressthe ways in which educational establishment andbackground continue to shape opportunities foraccess to the profession.
It calls on those in the profession to do moreto help non-traditional students, by offeringexpenses to students on mini-pupillages, forexample. It also finds that more should be doneto ensure that those in the profession who havethe responsibility for administering mini-pupillage schemes gain a better understanding ofsocial mobility, educational disadvantage and thealternative paths that students from non-traditional backgrounds may have taken beforeapplying to the Bar.
The study draws on the experience ofstudents who participated in the Inner Temple’sPegasus Access and Support Scheme (PASS), aprogramme designed to support students fromunderrepresented backgrounds into theprofession, in part by helping them to find amini-pupillage and covering the associated traveland accommodation expenses to allow them tocomplete it. The report shows that PASS worksvery well in increasing mutual exposure betweennon-traditional aspirant entrants and chambers.
Dr Elaine Freer, who authored the report,said: “It is clear we need more mutualunderstanding between potential students,higher education, and the Bar to ensure thatgifted students from non-traditionalbackgrounds do not slip through the net.Inner Temple’s work goes some way toaddressing this by administering a schemewhich offers mini-pupillages on the basis ofpotential and achievement wider than academic
qualifications. Such experience of theprofession provides a forum in whichstereotypical views held by both non-traditional aspirant entrants and the professioncan be challenged.”
Professor Andrew Francis, an AssociateAcademic Fellow of the Inn, who supervisedthe research, added: “Traditional thoughts onwork experience might prevent those sitting oninterview panels from recognising the depthand breadth of experience thatunderrepresented students might have gainedthrough other means. Our understanding ofwhat merit is and how it is applied is often ill-defined. Interview and selection panels must beclear on what they are looking for. Otherwisethe experiences of underrepresented groups canoften be overlooked.”
As gatekeepers to the profession and theonly bodies that can call students to the Bar ofEngland and Wales, the Inns of Court play animportant role in creating access to theprofession and educating future barristers.Since 2009, the Inner Temple has established awide range of outreach initiatives to worktowards a more diverse profession and thisreport shows that our programmes aretransformational for individual students. The report is also challenging reading aboutwhat more can be done and we will not shyaway from these challenges.

EDUCATION & TRAININGMAKING AN INFORMEDDECISION ABOUT ACAREER AT THE BARThe Bar Standards Board recentlypublished the 2016 edition of itsBPTC Key Statistics document tohelp prospective BPTC students makean informed decision about theirchances of progression to pupillagebefore undertaking the BPTC.

The statisticsindicate that those BPTC graduateswho secure pupillage are likely tohave secured a first or upper secondclass degree and an Outstanding orVery Competent grade on the BPTC.This statistic is further supported by
the Inn’s own statistics which indicate that over 90% of InnerTemple pupils secured a first or upper second class degree.

GARDEN NEWS
In very timely fashion with the busiestgarden season of the year approaching,the Inn was hosting another staff trainingcourse on ‘Prioritising and Managing
your Time’, a topic that always challenges theGarden Team as soon as the tulip displays areflowering in mid-spring. Not that the tulipdisplay itself is the challenge, but thesymbolism of it in garden maintenance terms issomewhat alarming for the gardener.
With the first tulips out we should havemulched all the flower borders, supported allperennials with woven pea-stick cages andthinned-out the self-seeders, such as poppy‘Lauren’s Grape’ and Smyrnium perfoliatum(Great Alexander), because the borders arequite difficult to access, i.e. to tip-toe through,when the tulips are in full swing. Simple jobssuch as this become unnecessarily tough,particularly on the tulips as they mightaccidently lose their heads when kicked with apea-stick, long-handled fork or a foot. Youmight have noticed on your recent walkthrough the Garden, admiring our tulips, thatsome of these jobs have not yet beencompleted. Now knowing about our accessissues during the tulip season, you might thinkthat we mis-prioritised our jobs this springand, if I am honest, lately I have caught myselfthinking this once or twice when workingamongst the tulips on the High Border.
However, reflecting on our achievements inthe late winter and early spring, we decided toprioritise a number of jobs on our list. At thetop was the re-edging and mulching of our treecircles, a job that has to be done whilst the treeroot zones are still moist from all the winterrains, the temperatures are low hindering thegermination of unwanted weeds and of coursebefore the daffodils are in full bloom, since it ismuch harder to work around them than tulips.This demonstrates a key element of good timemanagement; doing a job at the right time andin the right way which is the most efficient andeffective way of working; a simple conceptwhich is so often hard to put into practice.
Sometimes the job list can be sooverwhelmingly long that it can be difficult todistinguish between urgent and important jobs.I have discovered an obvious tool; I just askmyself and the team what are the consequencesif we don’t do this job right now. This simplereflective exercise means our weekly andmonthly job list falls into place much betterand is more achievable. For example, back inFebruary, I chose to focus on the recruitmentof our new trainee gardener, Emily Blackmore,and our new part-time position of GardenAdministrator/Seasonal Gardener, PamelaGent, instead of pea-staking perennials in theHigh Border. We figured that it was moreurgent to have two new team members in place
TIP-TOE THROUGHTHE TULIPSBY ANDREA BRUNSENDORF, HEAD GARDENER
Single, early tulips,Purissima and ExoticEmperor alongKing’s Bench Walk
INNERVIEW TRINITY TERM 19
for April, the beginning of our busiest season,than staking asters and geranium in February,just because that is the traditional time to do it.The asters and geraniums are veryunderstanding, since they are still at groundlevel and with little need of support yet.Besides, now with two new team members wecan easily share and delegate our workloadmuch better, even if it means we have got totip-toe through the tulips.
Of course, one should always aim to beproactive with the planning of garden tasks sothat you don’t end up in the ‘fire-fighting’position where jobs are both urgent and veryimportant. It is such an unsatisfying way ofworking, especially when there is so much toappreciate about being a Gardener at this timeof year. A useful method to minimise thisslightly panicked state is to schedule, scheduleand schedule! Garden jobs such as spotweeding the long grass areas, watering thecontainerised laurels outside the Pegasus Bar orapplying bi-weekly pond water treatments, arenow reoccurring activities in our diary. Thesejobs that do not completely preoccupy mymind also give me some creative thinking timewere I can mentally map out a vision for theGarden or plan the Garden’s 5-year budgetplan, which also gets its own allocated time slotfrom now on to avoid late nights over Excelspreadsheets!
So, in being more aware of workingefficiently and effectively, we hope to deliverever improving garden displays. Doing tasksthe right way, at the right time mean that ourhigh horticultural aspirations can be attained.As our daily objectives are continuouslyshuffled and re-ordered we hope not todecapitate too many tulips and that thecalmness of the garden is reflected in the Team.Over the coming months, I hope that youenjoy the fruits of our labour, whether theyhave been realised through planned, prioritised,scheduled, delegated, or fire-fought actions.
*Footnote for the gardening enthusiast:This year has been a very poor year for tulips,because the winter was too mild and wet,therefore the more fancy tulips havesuccumbed to fungal disease and stuntedgrowth. If you stuck to simple, single, early orlate flowering tulips, like Purissima, ExoticEmperor or Dordogne, you would have beenin for a treat. Those tulips really thrived in thecool early spring weather, particularly alongKing’s Bench Walk and the High Border.
With a busy day and a social night,why not take it easy in our beautifulon site bedrooms?Rich in heritage and tucked away highabove the hustle and bustle of the city, ourtwo beautifully decorated overnightaccommodation rooms, the Boswell Roomand the Chaucer Room, are waiting foryou. Available seven nights a week for only£150 a night, a peaceful night in either ofthese rooms will leave you relaxed andrevived for the next day.

This July, The Temple Church Choir’syoungest members will gather atHeathrow Airport for the start of anadventure that will take them
around the globe to Singapore and Australia fortheir first-ever international tour as the TempleChurch Boys’ Choir.
Due to coincide with the release of theirfirst solo recording, Treblesome, the boys willstart the tour in Singapore on 20 July, singingbefore an invited audience at a Rule of Law event organised by the SingaporeAcademy of Law.
This relationship between music and thelaw is a natural partnership for the TempleChurch Boys’ Choir since their predecessorshave been singing to the lawyers and judges ofthe Temple for over one hundred years in thebeautiful Temple Church.
Aged eight to fourteen, the boys work hardto combine their school studies with thetraining, services, recitals and performancedates required by the choir. They embark ontheir inaugural international tour under thePatronage of Her Excellency Ms Foo Chi Hsia,High Commissioner for Singapore, and HisExcellency The Hon Alexander Downer AC,High Commissioner for Australia.
“This is a wonderful opportunity for theboys to see the world, to make new friends and
to perform in some spectacular locations,” saidInner Temple’s Sub-Treasurer PatrickMaddams. “It is also a great opportunity forthe Temple to connect with our colleagues inSingapore and Australia.”
The tour schedule will include anappearance at a Charity Gala at the Universityof Western Australia in Perth, preceded by alegal panel discussion featuring a distinguishedlist of speakers. The choir will then fly toAustralia’s East Coast where they will connectwith local school choirs for joint performancesin Sydney and Brisbane. Members of the legalprofession and the general public will beinvited to enjoy concerts at St Mary’sCathedral in Sydney, and St John’s Cathedral inBrisbane.
This collaboration with local choirs willcelebrate the tradition of choral music in thechurches and cathedrals of both Australia andthe UK, and will include Britten’s Ceremony ofCarols as well as specially commissionedarrangements.
Led by Roger Sayer, Director of Music atthe Temple Church, and accompanied byorganist Greg Morris, The Temple ChurchBoys’ Choir’s first-ever solo tour will include arepertoire of stunning choral gems. Those whoattend the concerts will hear Visions, a newcommission by John Rutter alongside

traditional classics such as Schubert’s AveMaria, Brahms’ Wie Melodien and Løvland’sYou Raise Me Up.
The tour follows a similar venture in 2014when the Temple Church Choir sang at theLibrary of Congress and the Supreme Court inWashington D.C. at the start of the MagnaCarta 800th Anniversary celebrations, againbefore a distinguished audience of SupremeCourt Justices and lawyers. In celebration ofthe same anniversary, the choir sang before Her Majesty the Queen and many otherinternational dignitaries at Runnymede on 15 June, 2015.
To raise funds for the tour, a MusicalMarathon will take place at the Temple Churchon Thursday 23 June. Featuring artists of theTemple Church, including the Temple ChurchBoys’ Choir, the marathon will begin at 9.00and feature twelve hours of music with avariety of artists performing every hour.

JOHN OGILBY – KING’S COSMOGRAPHER
On the day before his coronationand restoration to the throne ofEngland on the 23rd April 1661,King Charles II processed
through London from the Tower to Whitehallpassing the Inner Temple in a procession led bythe King’s Council at Law, the Masters of theChancery and the Judges, many of whom weremembers of this Inn. According to ouraccounts the Inn itself celebrated the passing ofthe procession with bonfires, wine and bannerswere placed outside the Inner Temple gate. Theprocession was documented by the greatcartographer and publisher John Ogilby (1600– 1676) and can be found in our library underthe grand title of The entertainment of his mostexcellent Majestie Charles II in his passagethrough the City of London to his Coronation1661.
John Ogilby was also responsible for theproduction of two of the earliest known mapsof the Inn, both showing the Inn after theGreat Fire. He was employed by theCorporation of London as a ‘sworn viewer’whose job entailed plotting out the disputedproperty in the City. His map of the Inn in

1671 shows the Inn following its rebuildingafter its almost total destruction by the fire.
John Ogilby lived and worked just outsidethe Inner Temple at 8 - 10 Bouverie Street andWhitefriars Lane. His home and business as acartographer and publisher were also destroyedby the Great Fire of London. This career hadfollowed an early life of extraordinary varietyand interest.
When only a child his father wasimprisoned by the King’s Bench for debt, sothe enterprising John aged only 12 years old,earnt enough money selling ‘spangles andneedles’ to gain the release of his father and
buy some lots from the Virginia CompanyLottery. He won enough money from thedraw in St Paul’s Churchyard to apprenticehimself to a dancing master. He wasunfortunately injured whilst dancing in BenJonson’s masque The Gypsies Metamorphosedin 1621 which ended his dancing career. Hesecured employment first as dancing master tothe Lord Chief Deputy of Ireland, The Earl ofStrafford’s children in 1633, and then was giventhe post of Master of the Revels in Ireland. Hewas responsible for the opening in 1637 ofIreland’s first theatre.
He left Ireland following the GreatRebellion in 1641 and was ship wrecked on hisway back to London. Finding his way on footto Cambridge he met James Shirley who taughthim Greek and Latin, at which he clearlyexcelled for it led to his popular and beautifullyproduced translations of Virgil, Homer’s Iliadand Odyssey and Aaesop’s Fables.
The Restoration restored his fortunes andhe was commissioned to assist with the‘poetical arrangements’ for the coronation,with the composition of speeches and songs. In1674 he was created the King’s Cosmographerand Geographic Printer. He producedBritain’s first road atlas which was made up of100 strip road maps accompanied by a double-sided page of text giving additional advice forthe map’s use. He also reproduced maps ofAfrica, China, Asia and America upon hisprinting press which after the fire was based inWhitefriars Lane just outside the Tudor Streetgateway.
John Ogilby died in 1676 and was buried inSt Bride’s church. His work was continued byhis wife’s grandson by her first marriage,William Morgan at the family business inWhitefriars. We may view his maps of Japan,China, Africa and America in our own library.
